Is there a good way to formulate a thesis quickly?

I was thinking that one could look at specific examples, then study them
carefully and think about what they can be generalized to. This would be
induction.  Is there any other way, Can you think of any other way or do
you know how to formulate thesis statements and arguments quickly?

Perhaps it's easier if you use this formula,
Thesis = topic + perspective

Your question is much too vague to answer. For a start, what do you
mean by "thesis"? What sort of thesis? In what discipline?

Your thinking should be like thus:
"Right, right.... thesis... thesis. Walls? Curtains? Empty salons?
Corridors? Salons? Doors. Doors. Salons. Empty chairs, deep armchairs,
thick carpets. Heavy hangings. Stairs, steps. Steps, one after the
other. Glass objects, objects still intact, empty glasses. A glass
that falls, three, two, one, zero. Glass partition, letters? Thesis...
Thesis .. Thesis...."

Look at everything and you will find a thesis.
